Reminds me of a thought I had for my MUD. The MUD, whenever we change anything
in the code (it's a Diku style MUD, most of the stuff is in code), obviously
has to go through a reboot. I was wandering about having the data for
connections written out with the database (with sanity checking on load, of
course, incase something goes wrong after the database is saved), then have
the server load the new binary over itself with one of the exec() functions.
The player would get "The server is rebooting, please wait" or similar...
